Looking Regal

This week I am off to Vegas for 5 days,
and will be celebrating my 25th anniversary.
Will be staying at the MGM, so a few days away from post season baseball.

Promise to have a look at the boards to see the odds for the Jays for 2010.

Now this is not the first time in the City of Lost Wages, I have visited in 2006, but had scant time to take in the sights, but hope to catch some post season baseball, and NFL football next Sunday.



So far, the weather has been the story in New York, and some Arod theatrics. He is starting to shed the rap of post season choker, with his Game 2 ninth inning hit.

The Phillies head home 1-1 , and once again , weather will be an issue, cold weather that is, just glad they were not playing in Boston today, with that winter blast that the Patriots and Titans enjoyed, the schedule makers would start hitting their panic buttons.

Cliff Lee has pitched in bad weather in the past ( Cleveland ) but not this late in the year, and as a control pitcher, the grip on the ball is important, so we'll watch for his ability to keep the ball away from Kemp, Ethier and Manny's wheelhouse.

So far the 2 Southern Cal teams are in tough spots, Dodgers are a good road club, but Philly has Lee, and then can come back with Hamels in Game 4, on short rest, or give the ball to Blanton and save Hamels for an all important potential clincher in Game 5. I f this goes to a Game 6, maybe we'll see Pedro try and dust off his old club, the Dodgers.

Unless Figgins and the base bugs on the Halos start getting on base, the Angels are going to get dusted off very quickly, because the Yanks are looking very "regal" and very " championship like" up 2-0. Angels need to get to a Yankee starter early, and get their running game in high gear because that's how they win games.
